3.9.1 Connecting USB devices

USB devices can be connected with the -usbdevice commandline option or the usb_add monitor command. Available devices are:

mouse
Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
tablet
Pointer device that uses absolute coordinates (like a touchscreen). This means qemu is able to report the mouse position without having to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
disk:file
Mass storage device based on file (see disk_images)
host:bus.addr
Pass through the host device identified by bus.addr (Linux only)
host:vendor_id:product_id
Pass through the host device identified by vendor_id:product_id (Linux only)
wacom-tablet
Virtual Wacom PenPartner tablet. This device is similar to the tablet above but it can be used with the tslib library because in addition to touch coordinates it reports touch pressure.
keyboard
Standard USB keyboard. Will override the PS/2 keyboard (if present).
